God bless all of these troops........we owe them all SO much.
I am very proud to point out that my oldest son, a Stryker platoon leader from Ft. Lewis (same outfit) who went through all this and just returned a few weeks ago after 15 months....was the only platoon leader to bring back EVERY one of his troops unscathed; nary a Purple Heart among them.
It’s nothing short of miraculous, especially when you peruse where they were the whole time. It’s a true testament to the power of prayer......and to my son’s outstanding combat leadership.
I can’t express in words how proud I am that he and his guys served with such honor, and that he brought them all back whole to rejoin their families and other loved ones. That, my friends, is a professional.
He is FReeper “Future Snake Eater”. I love him as my son, but he has earned the respect of all of us.
Tell him I said Thank You,and Thank You too.
